pmm with the interface yay doesn't search via pmm (package) #196

Open Titaniumtown opened 4 years ago

Titaniumtown commented 4 years ago

pmm, when set to user-interface=yay, doesn't search for packages when you do "pmm (package)" as yay does.

ghost commented 4 years ago

In yay, it will search, and ask which you would like to install, and then install the package when doing that, which isn't possible in pmm (at the time of writing that is)

Having it search for packages should be an easy change. That's missing simply because I didn't know about it when implementing the yay interface. If someone makes a clean PR for this I'll likely accept it; if not, I'll add it when I get some down time from higher priority things.

Searching then prompt for which to install would be a new pmm operation and much more work. In theory if someone creates a clean PR for this I'd accept it, but it might not be obvious how to do this cleanly.
